The "Kid" of Salvation Army
Fame, Gets a License
to Marry.

Mr.. Will Allen, better known as
"The Kid" will not soon be forgotten
by Sedalisns who frequented the Sal
walton Army meetings from Novem-
Der last TO March, for the "Kid"
worked with a zeal and ambition
commendable in any one. He beat
the big drum until his face was wont
to grow scarlet-as he hammered it
in His cause and to call sinners to-
gether. He did not beat
the drum without rich
results, for he called little
Miss Bertha Tussey, daughter of
William Tussey, who resides at 1922
East Fifth street from a life of ordi-
nary events to one which was supposed
to be wholly devoted to the cause of
Christ.
The "Kid" was badly smitten with
the charms and prayers of the little
convert, and while he prayed for
blessings to be showered upon all
mankind, he mentally asked the Great
Ruler of the universe to bestow large
share of this worlds choicest
comforts upon little Bertha.
In short, the skid" wooed and won
the new convert and proposed
marriage, which was accepted.
"Hsppy ADAM" who was in COM
mand of the Salvation forces here, for
bid the bans of the loving couple un-
til they had been in the army two
years, which is one of the articles of
faith that rules the Salvation
Army.
Upon this dread fiat the "Kid" and
his affianced both left the army. He
retreated to Kansas City to work at
gas fitting, and where his father is
superintendent of the gas works, and
Salvation Bertha returned home
to prepare for the wedding.
A few days ago the "Kid" arrived
in this city and yesterday he procured
license to marry Miss Tussey. To-day
at 1890 a. m. at the residence of
VIM. Tussey at 1922 East Fifth
street, by Rev. Whipple, the "Kid"
and Miss Bertha Tussey will be mar
ried. This evening they will leave
for Kansas City where William Al
len will be a gas filter and render the
usual plumbers bills that will
paralyze the world and enrich
the "Kid and his bride, whom he
caught with a Salvation Army bass
drum and eloquently werded prayers.
The BAzoo congratulates Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen in advance. May heavens
choicest blessings rain upon them
and may they and theirs be looked
upon as of the chosen few who shall
have continued happiness and I'M
adulterated bliss.

A Bond Broker I'm Limbo.

New York, May 2l.-A. Falck & 20 in
an interview to-day, regarding the arrest
of Lewis Herzog, at Chicago, on suspicion
of perpetrating frauds, by selling alleged
European bonds and securities of the
Tennessee land improvement and manu-
featuring company, said that Hsrzog was
employed by them IS travelling agent.
They knew nothing about any tennessee
land improvement securities. Herzog was
employed to sell certain foreign bonds on
the installment plan, and when paid up,
the bonds were sent to the buyer. Ali
that Herzog was authorized to do, was to
issue certificates of purchase. He tele-
graphed to Falck & 20. to-day for bail,
and the firm said they were willing to 90
his bail if the charge was confined to the
bonds alone. Mr.. E. III. Hoerner, banker,
IS Wall street, Herzog's former employer,
said that he had been in his service year
in similar capacity, and that he had
always found him trustworthy.

STARTED FOR KANSAS.
A HOrsethief With a Lot Of
Watches.

This mornings Texas express on
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
railway, had as passengers, Deputy
Sheriff JOEL Cochrane, of johnson
county, Kansas, Edward Moll, hv.
cry man of Olathe, and a dudish
young German, calling himself F.
B. Rowe, who is wanted in Olathe,
on the very serious charge of horse
stealing. Wednesday morning Rowe
called at Moll's stable, and hired q
$500 rig to go out in the country q
short distance and return in an hour
or two. Rowe was well dressed and
talked rather broken, and Mr.. Mol,
on the last account, had no suspicion
that anything would be wrong. Rowe
did not return, as agreed upon, and
Moll secured the services of Deputy
sheriff Cochrane.
Their man was heard of until
Bolton, in Cass county. Mo-, a little
town about twenty-five miles from
Olathe, was reached. Here the young
man abandoned the team on the street
and boarded a north-bound train.
Moll and the officer were close behind
Rowe, and recovered the horses and
buggy at Bolton. They took the next
train, and were just behind their man
one train all the time.
Captain Jackson, of this city, re-
ceived a telegram yesterday morning
from Mol, giving a description Of
Rowe, and the charge against him.
The officers on the force were immedi-
ately appraised, and a watch was i'm
mediately organized. Investigation
of trains resulted futilely, for Rowe
had left his train about the Fifth
street depot and came down into town
the back way, as it were. The con-
ductor of the train and the peanutter
hadn't noticed anybody an
swering Rowe's description. The
police were nonplussed for the
moment.
Then another telegram came dur
ing the afternoon, and Carnes and
Shobe and others of the force were on
the alert again. Their man was on
the depot at the time, the officers
were consulting. He must have
known that they were suspicious of
him, for he broke and ran up Usage
into Main, then west to Kentucky
where he returned to the railroad,
Shobe and Carnes ran up the track,
and jackson and Mooney, who were
going north on Main, joined In.
Carnes borrowed a pony from q
butcher boy, and captured the fleeing
Rowe at Grand avenue, where in at
tempting to scale a wire fence, his
clothes caught on barb and detain-
ed him.
He was taken to the calaboose and
searched, in his possession being
found three valuable gold watches,
two silver timepieces and about $40
in money. He remained in the
calaboose all night, and Moll and
Cochrane, arriving at midnight, idea-
tilted the young man. The Kansans,
who had offered reward for $50, de-
parted with their prisoner this morn
ing, as stated, having before leaving.
made arrangements for paying over
the reward to the capturing party.
The watches were taken along, and
it is believed that Rowe has been into
some other mischief before he went in
to the horse business.
